Queensland Housing Strategy 2017 – 2027

Housing Construction Jobs Program - Ipswich - Expression of Interest

QTenders Reference: HHSHPW2018006

Overview

The Housing Construction Jobs Program (the Program) is a key part of the Queensland Housing Strategy’s response to the need for more social dwellings to keep pace with population growth. The Program creates jobs, drives economic growth, delivers better community outcomes and increases the supply of social housing. It does this through an innovative partnership approach with builders, developers and community housing organisations.

The Ipswich Expression of Interest (EOI)

This EOI will deal exclusively with the Ipswich region. Over the next 5 years, it's anticipated that the Program will deliver:

$103 million in investments

383 new social homes

59 full-time jobs per annum.

The Program is seeking interest from the market to deliver social housing projects in the Ipswich region.

This EOI seeks Proposals for small and medium scale residential social housing construction projects as well as those that provide opportunities for multi-year development over a number of dispersed sites.

A pipeline of development opportunities is sought with a requirement for multiple projects commencing construction between 2018-19 and 2021-22.

Projects must be on either non-government-owned freehold land, either owned by the Proponent or where the Proponent has an equitable interest (in the form of a contract or option) and capable of acquisition by the Department, or on not-for-profit sector owned land that:

have not yet commenced construction, and

have relevant approvals in place, such as development approval, planning approval, or building approval (if applicable) or with design and or concept designs (if applicable).

Attachments and support documents

You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
